No! there is no English libretto here and being a premier recording there is no alternative to find. It is a Metastasio libretto so reasonably well documented (Hasse also composed an opera) considering the Gluck version has only recently been rediscovered but I could only find literature in Italian (available for GBP 4.99 at the A site). Oh and there is the full score on sale for USD 3 billion at stores selling sheet music (eg PC) but I should think that is only for the music and probably 18C Italian text...
BUT
I would still say this is a get...
You may be flying a bit blind here (like no artificial horizon or altitude meter) but there is a synopsis and you can fill in the gaps a bit with you imagination. Wonderful.

Probably mainly worth hearing for Gedda. Not keen on the timbre of Mazurok's voice. Tomowa-Sintow most emphatically does NOT sound like a young girl in love - the review quoted by Presto calls her "matronly" and that is about right. Not sure I'd bother to listen to this again.

Shame. At least you had your headphones though!

I love Gluck. Absolutely without a shadow of doubt my all time favourite composer in the entire galaxy. Well for today, that is.
Armide is one his best too. Which one? As much as I love Mireille Delunsch and Minkowski... It's the Hickox recording. It is very much the more colourful and dramatic and Felicity Palmer is Armide. Rolfe Johnson is a very romantic Renaud, good balance against Palmer.
Be warned though, no English libretto here, only french (well it does say so on the disc cover). Even then I might just say get this one for a first recording. Hickox and Palmer might just tell you more about the opera than the text...
